CBS's Katie Couric: 'I Feel Like Right Now in Many Ways, We’re a Very Angry Nation'
NewsBusters ^ | December 22, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Angry, frustrated, troubled, disappointed, disgust, disrespect - words not normally associated with holiday season. However, they were words Katie Couric used to describe where she sees the mood of country right now.

Couric, the anchor of the "CBS Evening News," in a live Facebook video chat on Dec. 22, took on illustrating her view of the populace - a not very sunny picture (emphasis added).

"I think more distant - I hate to say that, but I think, I think the economic situation in this country, I think, when people are struggling, that sometimes they need a place to vent their rage and to channel their rage and I think, I feel like right now in many ways, we're a very angry nation," Couric said. "Very frustrated, troubled and disappointed in many ways in terms of people feeling that the American dream just isn't within their reach. I mean I still think it's a place of incredible opportunity and entrepreneurship. But I just think that, I don't know - maybe it's because what I do for a living, I feel that the country is pretty polarized right now."

So that’s where Southpark got the idea for using the “couric” to measure the size of a piece of _____.
Hint: Some people say that Katie is full of _____.

Gee, could it be we're mad because none of the politicians are listening to us?
Isn't hopelessness the reason insurgencys start?

Typical liberals, just as Rush said today.
When people don't agree with their policies, they chalk it up to them being angry and divisive.

CBS is paying her $15-million a year for that tripe?

They should ask for their money back...

When Hu Jintao and Vladimir Putin, sworn enemies of the US, are further right than the leader of the US, there is a problem.

Even Imadinnerjacket seems to be to the right of zero.

I'm sure someone has already pointed this out ... the Katie Couric/Sarah Palin interview. The Charlie Gibson/Sarah Palin interview ... both over the top ‘get Sarah’ interviews by America liberal mainstream elitists. Sarah was only running for V/P on the McCain ticket ... yet she received far more scrutiny than BO. The reason ... she was considered a threat to the liberal medias already chosen one, the anointed one, the great one ... BO.

yeah the list of where you can agree with apparently enemies more than the government is troubling. Another good example is where one agrees with the chinese on the fed monetizing the debt or the treasury borowing far to much for the dollar to be a safe currency.

Katie needs to A) buy a one way ticket. B) Stop lying and start reporting the news, the real news.

The country is angry because people like Katie Couric lie and crotch-dance their way into uber-high paying jobs as they look down on the rest of us for being kind, considerate, diligent human beings capable of worshiping God and thinking more of themselves than a colon-rectal promotional tour and another Sally Quinn cocktail party.

If Katie Couric’s head wasn’t so far stuck up Katie Couric’s #$%&*% she might realize that there’s more to life than making herself feel better by making other people appear common. Merry Christmas Katie Couric.

OOPS! My bad, it’s “happy holidays” to you upper east siders isn’t it?

Uh, yeah Katie.. Watching our country fall to a Marxist Dictatorship is a little unnerving.

I might add, BTW, that right now there is a Yahoo news page about Pub State prosecutors looking to see if some of the “deals” in the Health Care bill can be whacked — not a bad article, actually. But on the right side of that page, there is a headline saying: “2009’s biggest scandals”, beside a picture of... Sarah Palin!?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091223/ap_on_re_us/us_health_care_deal_states

In the actual article you then go to, she is called controversial and “divisive”, and her resignation gets hit, but since when are those things 0.0000001% as “scandalous” as the deals that were made to pass this Health Care bill?

I don’t think one has to be a big Palin fan to be d*** angry about such distortion!

BTW, can someone capture, save to HD, and post that part of that page B4 it gets taken down or changed? (I have it saved, actually, but have no good way to post it.)
